Breakheart Pass (1975)
Country: US
Technical: col 94m
Director: Tom Gries
Cast: Charles Bronson, Ben Johnson, Richard Crenna, Jill Ireland
Synopsis:
A train carrying two carriages of cavalry, the Nevada state governor and his niece, and a tropical disease expert winds its way up the Rocky Mountains towards a cholera stricken military fort. Also on board is a dangerous killer under guard, who may be more, or less, than he seems.
Review:
The classic MacLean setup of devious characters and hidden agendas transfers well to the Western format, and this Gershwin-Kastner production is filled with familiar faces. Bronson makes a perfect inscrutable hero, and the tense atmosphere in extreme conditions is well sustained.
